What difference does it make? After you're dead you're in no position to regret anything. And no matter how long you live, you'll want to live longer, unless you're sick of living, so you can't win. The best you can do is to convince someone else to enjoy it while it lasts and to look forward to a well-deserved rest.

My condolences. How old did he get ? He's been here longer than I remeber.

** Well, there sure as hell are a lotsa of far worse way to go !! ** It is very strange that so many folk imagine sympathy is due to the recently deceased - when in fact, it is the one time that such feelings are completely wasted.Sympathetic feelings should be appropriately directed - to the recently bereaved, ie close relatives, significant others and also friends, colleagues and acquaintances who likely held the deceased person in some high regard.
They are the ones who have suffered an unexpected and disconcerting loss and, as a result, may well be feeling very mortal themselves.
Those with long memories may recall that I once posted here formal apology to Tony Williams - for hostile remarks hastily made under the mistaken impression that he was another person by the same surname.
My very straight forward heading on that post, plus its content, seemed to somewhat chuff Tony.
My sympathies go out to his family, friends and colleagues.
I do know what it is to unexpectedly lose folk you like and who are important in your life.
Horrible.

When the subject came up before, Tony had this to say:
Eight years, almost to the day.

Thanks, Rich
I want to not die at all, so I'm taking these classes:
Call it a scientifical realisticological experiment.
If they really work, then I won't die.
If they don't, then at least on my deathbed I won't have to say, "I wish I'd..."
Hope This Helps! Rich
Then there's this one:
Tony Williams snipped-for-privacy@ledelec.demon.co.uk posted to sci.electronics.design:
He taught grace and decency as well as electronics. A loss indeed for you as well as us.
Is he that bloke who used to draw nice circuit diagrams with valves in them using Visio or Paint or some such?
Hugs to the wife/sis.
